Talen Horton-Tucker came off the bench to play 28 minutes for the Los Angeles Lakers in a win over the Golden State Warriors during which he scored 18 points and dished 10 assists. His teammate Kyle Kuzma praised the sophomore for the performance.

“THT had a hell of a game tonight,” Kuzma said. “[He was] doing everything: getting downhill, getting into the paint that’s one thing I’ve been trying to talk to him about is once he gets in the paint he’s probably one of the two-three best players to penetrate the paint.

He’s so gifted to look weak side, look strong side and hit guys. He did a great job with that tonight. Having 10 assists and scoring as well.”
